@EOEboh A POST method fits. This majorly involves creating a lightweight instance of a follower on the table while updating the user’s follower count.

Interviewer:
How would you safely handle wallet balance updates?

Answer:
Don't update the balance carelessly

Use transactions,
row locking or optimistic locking,
Plus an immutable ledger.

Your ledger becomes the source of truth.
Balance is just a calculated state.

I enjoy playing Tennis Clash on my phone, the scoring logic around deuces always fascinates me. So let's say both players are on 6-6, whoever scores two points consecutively gets to win at an 8-6 or a 6-8. But if at 6-7 the player with 6, scores a point, the score falls to 6-6 meaning the player with 7 got dropped to 6 and the other player will require two consecutive points to end the game. As a software engineer I couldn't help but admire the logic, so I decided to write the scoring mechanism straight from my head without an AI assistant. After some refactoring here and there, I got the code working perfectly. For the sake of putting the code to use, I decided to use Claude to wrap a little bit of graphics around the code. Feel free to play with Random Tennis, a tennis game simulator.

@Akintola_steve When the traffic one service generates is enough to overwhelm the app.

My neighbor's kid asked why I don't have a dog. I said "I'm not home enough." He said "get a cat." I said "I'm allergic." He said "get a fish." I said "they die too fast." He said "get a rock. You don't have to feed it. And it won't die." I painted a face on a rock. Put it by my door. The kid comes over sometimes to check on it. He named it Kevin. Kevin is a good rock. Never complains.

Sometimes the way an author writes is so intelligent and thought- provoking and passionate that it makes me wonder if they're even human.

Agatha Christie knew poisons so well, her books have been consulted when diagnosing patients. In 1976, a London infant was dying of a rare illness. Her nurses, having read The Pale Horse, realized she had been poisoned with thallium. Murder mysteries saved her life.
